Researchers have developed FedTopo, a novel framework for federated learning designed to address the challenges posed by heterogeneous local model architectures. Unlike existing methods that share knowledge through model parameters, distilled predictions, or class prototypes, FedTopo encodes global knowledge as a class relation topology. This approach captures the relationships between classes within each client's data, rather than their absolute positions in feature space, which can be unreliable with differing model architectures. Experiments demonstrate that FedTopo outperforms traditional sharing methods across various datasets and heterogeneous backbones, offering low communication and no inference overhead. AI
